Butter Making.

We cool the milk as soon as pos
sible, to the temperature of fifty
five degrees, using for the purpose q
zinc-lined box for water, and plain
straight tin cans for the milk, with
perforations in the covers to allow
the impurities of the milk to pass
off while cooling. We change the
water in the box often. In the hot
test weather we let the milk staad
from twentyfour to thirty hours
and churn, having the temperature
of the cream at sixty-two degrees
We use the creamery churn which
brings the butter quickly in gran
ulated form which is soon in..shape
for calling by use Of a round bowl
and ladle in summer, and patent
worker in winter. Our rule for salt
ing is one ounce of salt to one
pound of butter, using the best DAT

If left to themselves sheep will
retire at night to the most elevated
part of the field, says the American
Cultlvator. This is a relic of the
tine when they were wild, and such
precautions were necessary that they
might guard against approaching
danger from wild amin ais. But the
fact. has its advantages. The knobs
that sheep select tor their sleeping
places are originally poor, but
sheep will soon enrich them. The
grass also is sweeter than on low
land and sheep are less liable tc
disease.
